Approvals and Codes

Appliance Certification

The Quadra-Fire fireplace models discussed in this Installers Guide have been tested to certification standards and listed

by the applicable laboratories.

Certification

MODELS: QV-PIER-HV-IPI, QV-S T- HV -IPI LABORATORY: Underwriters Laboratories TYPE: V ented Gas Fireplace Heater STANDARD: ANSI Z21.88•CGA2.22•UL307B

Installation Codes

The fireplace installation must conform to local codes. Before installing the fireplace, consult the local building code agency to ensure that you are in compliance with all applicable codes, including permits and inspections.

In the absence of local codes, the fireplace installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (in the United States) or the CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Codes (in Canada). The appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (in the United St ates), or to the CSA C22.1 Canadian Electric Code (in Canada).

High Altitude Installations

U.L. Listed gas appliances are tested and approved without requiring changes for elevations from 0 to 2,000 feet in the U. S. A. and in Canada.

When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2,000 feet, it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Input rate should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet above a 2000 foot elevation in the U.S.A. or 10% for elevations between 2000 and 4500 feet in Canada. If the heating value of the gas has been reduced, these rules do not apply . To identify the proper orifice size, check with the local gas utility.

If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4,500 feet (in Canada), check with local authorities.

These models may be installed in a bedroom or bed-sitting room in the U.S.A. and Canada.

Quadra-Fire • QV-PIER, QV-ST Series: HV-IPI • 2005-901 Rev. G • 2/06

Getting Started

Introducing the Quadra-Fire Gas Fireplaces

Quadra-Fire direct vent gas fireplaces are designed to operate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of the building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside.

The information contained in this Installers Guide, unless noted otherwise, applies to all models and gas control systems. Gas fireplace diagrams, including the dimensions, are shown in this section.

Pre-install Preparation

This gas fireplace and its components are tested and safe when installed in accordance with this Installers Guide. Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment, particularly the condition of the glass. Do not install any

unit with damaged, incomplete, or substitute parts.

The vent system components are shipped in separate packages. The gas logs are packaged separately and must be field installed.

Read all of the instructions before starting the installation. Follow these instructions carefully during the installation to ensure maximum safety and benefit. Failure to follow these instructions will void the owner’s warranty and may present a fire hazard.

The Quadra-Fire Warranty will be voided by , and QuadraFire disclaims any responsibility for, the following actions:

• Installation of any damaged fireplace or vent system component.

• Modification of the fireplace or direct vent system.

• Installation other than as instructed by Quadra-Fire.

• Improper positioning of the gas logs or the glass door.

• Installation and/or use of any component part not manufactured and approved by Quadra-Fire, not withstanding any independent testing laboratory or other party approval of such component part or accessory .

ANY SUCH ACTION MAY POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD.

When planning a fireplace installation, it’s necessary to determine:

• Where the unit is to be installed.

• The vent system configuration to be used.

• Gas supply piping.

• Electrical wiring.

• Framing and finishing details.

• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,

wall switch, or remote control—are desired.

If the fireplace is to be installed on carpeting or tile, or on any combustible material other than wood flooring, the fireplace should be installed on a metal or wood panel that extends the full width and depth of the fireplace.
